Answer
    Are you saying that you took all of the manual trans parts out of the other car and put them in your car?  Clutch, shifter, everything?  that's a big job to get everything right.  My guess is that one of the safety switches(neutral safety, clutch safety, there may even be others, although I don't know what they'd be) is not connected properly and preventing you from cranking the motor.  Also, I hope you are using the starter that came with the other car with the manual trans.  Auto and manual trans cars generally use different starters, although I can't be sure about this one.  But, if that's the case, the starter drive will not mesh properly with the flywheel and you won't get it to crank.
